    That back wall to the woods needs a big bay window and i think the roof should be dropped below the façade, kind of like on a movie set so that the front face extends above the roof a bit. I also think the structural roof "Triangles" on the front & back walls, should have been built "in addition" to the lower body installing a "runner" or Sil point across the top of the wall structure.. I think Timbers have to be used as a minimum to be considered a Cabin, though this is pretty much the same thing and probably a bit easier to manage building. Not like I am out building Cabins, but that is just what i think.. 😁 Great Job, nonetheless.. I am not a fan of OSB(wet), I would prefer cedar planks to remove that exterior as a weak point.

    you know what would be such an interesting video, and you'd end every discussion once and for all about overkill or not, Now that the cabin is done get 2 professionals there, one to do that airtight test thingy when you tape the house, and the second person a enginere so that he can calculate exactly how strong your cabin is.

  • @joakimpettersson7646
    @joakimpettersson7646 2 дня назад

    Nothing wrong with doing it the "overkill"- way, for those that have not only the time but maybe more importantly the money. I can 100% grantee you though that this is overkill. Was or example watch the perkins builder brother the other day(professional builders of 20+ years and good somewhat overkill guys as well). And they were laughing talking about how they surely overbuilds everything as they were looking at Jamies own house THAT IS NOT EVEN FASTEN TO ANYTHING, AS IN NOT SECURE AT ALL TO THE FOUNDATION, an it is still standing after many decades. So each, you could problebly have done with 1/4 of all you did and would have still been perfectly fine. Me personally, that do not lie in a place completely without things like hurricanes and earthquakes, a cabin that weighs around, say 15 ton, is so much force into the foundation holding it there. And putting srews in or whatever is adding very little in the big picture of the stability into the foundation.

    I've watched many videos on insulating the floor and many RUclipsrs end up doing what you do: insulating from underneath. Why not put the wire mesh down when the floor joists are being installed and then fill the spaces between the joists before putting on the subfloor material? In other words, why does everyone work from underneath when they could drop the insulation down? Also, is there some kind of breathable material that can be put behind the screen to prevent the incursion of insects into the insulation?

    • @TheDIYCabinGuy
      @TheDIYCabinGuy 10 дней назад

      It’s a simple answer, If I did what you described, the insulation would have gotten wet and would have been completely trashed. You can’t really insulate until you’re dried in, meaning you have a roof on to keep the place dry.

    That drill saw blade looked really dangerous. Was it really supposed to go on the end of a drill? It does say "internal PVC cutter" but really seems like a solution looking for a problem. There are so many better ways of getting a clean cut of a PVC pipe that doesn't involve harming yourself with an uncontrollable tool. On the pre-slope things, you found the construction version of the 5-pack hot dogs, 6-pack hot dog buns (or whatever mismatched multiples, because it's a globally universal scam).

    I've been installing them for over 20 years. I never mount them on top of the sub floor I've always cut a beveled hole that allows the bottom piece to be flush with the sub-floor so it's not raised. I also do not screw them down. I use and adhesive under them and then build a bridge with 2x4 over it and then screw the drain up until it's tight. Once the adhesive sets up I remove it or allow the tile guy/gal to remove it. This prevents possible tears on the old school rubber membranes by the screws.

    Finally ! Wooden support legs separated/elevated from the 'rot zone' by concrete and galvanised steel. Excellent. Wood is highly dependent on type, maturity, water content, grain direction/joint geometry, loading, and anti-corrosion/erosion treatment. It is easy to get it wrong, and build something with either a severely limited lifespan, unacceptable flexing/noise transmission, or inbuilt heavy maintenance needs. Good to see somebody who understands this. The old wood buildings of Scandinavia, Europe and America (immigrant knowledge), were developed over centuries of lessons learned from errors, and were never built to accommodate modern demands for energy conservation and luxury.

    I've never seen nor have I used the paint on green treat on cut ends, primarily because you should stain the thing in a year or less having let it weather a bit. The 16"+ straps going up the side of the posts, never seen that done, usually done in hurricane zones securing plates to studs. Base plates are sufficient, that is stupid. I've seen your licensed engineers comments as well. Not sure the reason for the aluminum sheet under the post bases. To shed water off the top of concrete, as concrete isn't waterproof but absorbs water, trying to keep water infiltration between the concrete & the anchor bolt, freeze/thaw? I've never seen that happen, when such precautions were not taken. You set them in concrete & didn't drill them in. Spray them with concrete sealer & goob some Morflex around it if you like but that... Your posts are 6x6". Don't know how deep you went with your footings, or if you pancaked out the concrete under the sonotube in an oversized area in bottom of the footing hole, but your sonotubes look like 10" max which is narrow considering all the other overkill & I'm all for extra engineering. 12" min but more like 16" would be better if not required. Hyper overkill in areas combined with what looks like close to minimum if not below minimum is odd. Notching 6x6's leaving about an inch, for a triple rim joist?? Code doesn't even allow notching 4x4's for deck railing, so what do you think that 1" is going to hold? Double rim joist. What are your spans? 12' max, but they look closer to 8-10' Those look like 2x12's? All your seems aligned. BAD!! If 8-10' span have a 16'-20' span three posts. Stager seams. Notch for only 2 layer rim joist. I've even notched about a 1/2" shallow, so outside of rim is 1/2" proud of posts. Power lag your double rim joist together. I stopped watch there. Did you caulk all your seams after that as well with Through the roof or Big Stretch?

    You were smart to have the place inspected (even if you had no choice). In some jurisdictions there is a choice and you can build without inspection and some RUclipsrs building homes as DIY rookies have done this, thinking they are as competent as licensed plumbers. In fact, I've seen the same mistake you've made. The benefit you have is that you caught a mistake and fixed it when it costs relatively little to fix. Moreover, you can say when the property is completed and you want to sell that it is very well built and passed all inspections. That alone can bring you tens of thousands of dollars more. Some properties that have plumbing or electrical problems to fix underneath concrete floors have to be discounted by over $100k because these things must be revealed during the sale and the buyer assumes that they need to be torn up and fixed.

      Yes it was always my goal to do everything by the books, get the permit, inspections and certificate of occupancy so that this place can bring the value of my house up.

    No it's not overkill. This is a place that can withstand F5 tornadoes, Cat 5 hurricanes and a 10.9 earthquake...all at the same time!!! When the sun goes supernova, this place will still be standing! Wow! Very impressive!

    Hello. Nice build. Where does the insulation for the floor go? And is there some way to prevent insects and rodents from occupying the space under the floor (e.g. some screen or net). TIA.

      Check out the video I made on the insulation and you will get some answers

    What is the coil stock you used to bend the cap over your concrete piers? Looks like aluminum? Hopefully it's just galvanized steel, or you will have problems with dis-similar metals touching in a wet environment.

      @@HelloDonkey9 I waited for the insulation because it would have definitely gotten wet. I had to wait until I had the roof up.
